Gated

I love garden gates, any gates really. I think the privacy is intriguing and the foliage that usually accompanies them, outstanding!

Quiet Time

Tranquil spots like these are a must in the home garden.

Sea

Any mention of Summer brings the Sea to mind. I adore anything associated with it. I would love to fill a big vase with these finger sponges to create a lasting bouquet. A pedicure with coral colored polish, I can just fill the sand in between my toes.

Planning Ahead

With spring just around the corner, I can't help but jump ahead to thoughts of summer. I'd love to add these two pieces to my seasonal wardrobe.

Bloom

I am thrilled to see that my lilacs that have not always been faithful producers are well on there way to a fabulous spring bloom. I have five different plants and I am eager to get the fragrant purple gems into a vase on my night stand. Nothing like waking to the smell of fresh flowers.

And the Oscar goes to...

I am excited to attend our annual Academy awards party tonight. For the past few years one of my friends has hosted a party and we all vote on all the categories. The winner gets to take home the "oscar" until next year. I hope my picks come through this year.

Brocante

This is just a small sampling of the many beautiful, French antique items to be found at Tongue in Cheek Antiques. It's truly an amazing shop.

I adore this color palate especially for the kitchen. It's so fresh, clean and invigorating!

In Print

Talk about glamorous, how great are these note cards from Annechovie?!

Glamour

These rooms are so beautiful. The blues are calming and inviting. The tufted settee is an amazing place to relax with friends while sipping a Manhattan.

Weekend

It's so hard to believe that this is the last weekend of February. Let's make it a good one.

Grand

I love anything associated with time. Watches, clocks, punctuality. (It's odd now that I think about it). I have often thought of purchasing a Grandfather clock for my home but can't commit to the space and exact style that I could live with for years to come. This solution from anthropologie is ideal. It's art and a working clock. Ideal!

Wrap

Receiving anything wrapped in this paper is like getting a gift within a gift.
